An NASB Boo Boo?

I'm not a KJV only person but it looks like here the NASB clearly has a contradiction whereas the KJV skates clean on this one.
Compare 'or' and 'and' (in bold) between these two passages...

Revelation 13:16 NASB
[16] And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead,

Revelation 20:4 NASB
[4] Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

Now the KJV...

Revelation 13:16 KJV
[16] And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

Revelation 20:4 KJV
[4] And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

In the inimitable words of Ricky to Lucy, "You got some 'splainin' to do.
And the NASB (Critical Text) has some explaining to do as well with this logical contradiction in their translation.
So which is it? Hand and forehead OR hand or forehead ..it can't be both.

KJV makes it clear it is either the hand or the forehead but not both.

I know it's late and maybe I'm just seeing things.

This is why i have come to trust in the KJV. as my main go to Bible

How about this one

In rev 13 he CAUSES ALL, or FORCES ALL to recieve the mark

In rev 20 it is evidently voluntary

Which is it?

i believe causes all is not forcing. i can cause you to buy some food from me if i cook a delicious dish. yet you do it willingly. i believe its willing in the mark of the beast. because there is a choice to be made. otherwise the man of sin could just go and stick a chip in everyone when they are asleep and they are doomed to hell with no choice.

1560 GNV has 'or' in both verses

don't need those 'modern' KJV's with all their re-writes & changes.

Isaiah 44:5 Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (RSVCE)
5 This one will say, ‘I am the Lord’s,’
another will call himself by the name of Jacob,
and another will write on his hand, ‘The Lord’s,’
and surname himself by the name of Israel.”

this verse really makes me want to get a tattoo "BELONGING TO YAH" on my hand

It seems to come down to the English rendering of the Greek word "kai" in Revelation 20:4.

[Strong's] 2532 kai, kai {kahee} • apparently, a primary particle, having a copulative and sometimes also a cumulative force;;
conj • AV - and 8182, also 515, even 108, both 43, then 20, so 18, likewise 13, not tr. 354, misc 46, vr and 1; 9280
• 1) and, also, even, indeed, but

Most of the time it's rendered "and", but its meaning is broader than just "and". The idea of "or" could be seen in the following examples:

... neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, [even] in their hands ...
... neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, [likewise] in their hands ...
... neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, [but] in their hands ...
... neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, [so] in their hands ...

Another angle might be:
The "souls" (as a corporate group) did receive the mark in their hands and foreheads, while each individual soul in that group received it in their hand or their forehead.

How about this one

In rev 13 he CAUSES ALL, or FORCES ALL to recieve the mark

I'm a NKJV guy, but I don't see any problem here.
In the 1st passage they are saying where they could get the mark.

In the second passage they are just saying those that got marks on their hand, AND those that got marks on their foreheads. I don't see them saying you had to get the mark in both locations of the body.

It's fair to discuss how different versions translate things,
but I don't see this particular point as being a big deal.
